Amazon jump the gun and launch Canon's 1DsMKIII (and 40D too!)
Yep, thanks to an overzealous web monkey at Amazon we now know all about Canon's next super camera!
The replacement for the 1DsMkII will be the 1DsMkIII (no surprises there then!)
The important facts are:
- 21.1MP (full frame of course)
- 5fps
- Dual DigicIII parallel processors
- 45 point AF (same as the 1DIII)
- 3 inch live view LCD
- 14 bit A/D
- Self cleaning sensor
- Dual CF and SD cards
- New battery pack (same as the 1DMKIII)
- WFT-E2 compatable
- Same USB port (with cable clamp) as the 1DMkIII
My big worry is how many extra lens faults we're going to see with all that extra resolution. Give them their dues though, Canon have thought about that and added a Lens Aberration Correction Function to Digital Photo Pro. Apparently this will work with 12 different EOS cameras and 29 EF and EF-S lenses. Sounds a bit like the fancy Hasselblad system to me. So long as Canon don't use it as an excuse to make crap lenses under the pretence that it will all be OK in the software (not that I'm suggesting Hasselblad would do that)!
Check out the full story at Engadget.
And thanks to Jim in Brum for flagging this up!
I give it until Tuesday before Canon make the launch official.
Oh, and Amazon made the same booboo with Canon's 30D replacement imaginatively titled 40D.
